State of Alaska Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP) 2017-1. Forward The purpose of the State of Alaska Multiyear Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP) is to document the State of Alaska 's overall training and exercise program priorities for a specific multi-year time period. It is considered to be a living document intended to be updated and refined annually as priorities and needs change based upon real world events. The MYTEP priorities are linked to corresponding core capabilities, and, if applicable, a rationale based on existing strategic guidance, threat assessments, corrective actions from previous exercises, or other factors.

6 The MYTEP identifies the training and exercises that will help the State better prepare itself, as well as preparing communities, boroughs and other State agencies, to meet the challenges presented in various catastrophic events. The MYTEP is a progressive, multi-year exercise program that enables organizations to participate in a series of increasingly complex exercises, with each successive exercise building upon the previous one until mastery is achieved. Further, by including training requirements in the planning process, organizations can address known shortfalls prior to exercising capabilities. The associated training requirements address the priorities identified in the annual Training and Exercise Planning Workshops (TEPW). The MYTEP may also serve as a follow-on companion document to the State of Alaska 's Emergency Operations Plan, Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHS&EM) Strategic Plan, Alaska Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA), and State Preparedness Report (SPR).

7 It provides a roadmap to follow in accomplishing the priorities described therein. A training and exercise schedule is maintained, which provides the proposed activities scheduled for the years 2017 through 2019. The MYTEP. is intended to complement and enhance the training and exercises priorities of other State , federal, and local agencies to increase overall capabilities in emergency services, emergency management, and homeland security. 2. 2017-2019 State of Alaska Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP). Purpose The State of Alaska Multiyear Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP) establishes a process for coordinating emergency management, homeland security, and emergency services training and exercise activities in Alaska . The purpose of this plan is to determine what training and/or exercise activities are needed to: Test a Small Community Emergency Response Plan (SCERP) or Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) by local jurisdictions. Fill Core Capability gaps identified in the Alaska Assessment, THIRA, and SPR.

8 Assist participating communities to meet grant requirements. Build towards statewide participation in Alaska Shield 2019 (AS 19). Build stronger Incident Management Teams (IMTs) in Alaska , which includes launching the All-Hazards Credentialing Program. Build a cadre of training and exercise professionals and instructors in Alaska , so our local training and exercise needs can be met in a timelier manner. Synchronize training and exercise activities with Alaska State Departments and Federal partners (see Statewide Coordination on page 4). 3. State of Alaska Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP) 2017-1. Statewide Coordination The mission for the Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (DHS&EM) is to lead the way in emergency management to foster a prepared, resilient State capable of meeting the needs of its communities and citizens in response to all-hazards events through partnerships. Before, during, and after a disaster, DHS&EM partners with local jurisdictions, State and federal agencies, and non-government agencies to train and exercise their primary functions, so they are better prepared to respond to actual events.

9 In order to be prepared for the various threats and hazards in Alaska , the State of Alaska Multi- Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP) serves as a guide to coordinate training and exercise activities among its partners. Local jurisdictions, State , federal, and non-government partners are encouraged to develop a multi-year training and exercise plan, so they may allocate funds for travel, hotel accommodations, meals, transportation and other related expenses for training and exercise activities. DHS&EM encourages all partners to coordinate and share training and exercises activities with the DHS&EM Training and Exercise Sections. Local Jurisdictions Local jurisdictions will be better prepared and equipped to manage local events and disasters, if they develop a MYTEP. The plan is intended to provide a roadmap for local jurisdictions to follow, so they may accomplish the priorities established in their Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) or Small Community Emergency Response Plan (SCERP).

10 State , Federal, and Non-Government Partners The following State , federal, and non-government partners conduct regular training activities, participate in local and statewide exercises, and provide coordinated support through the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC). It is critical that Local Jurisdictions understand the roles and responsibilities of each agency, so they may schedule training and exercise activities with these entities as needed. State Partners Alaska National Guard The Alaska National Guard conducts regular training activities, participates in statewide exercises, and provides coordinated support as directed by the Governor. 4. 2017-2019 State of Alaska Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP). Air National Guard The Air National Guard is a reserve component of the Air Force. The more than 100,000 members of the Air National Guard can be called to active duty by the president of the United States to defend America and its interests. The Air National Guard can be activated by the State governor as needed to respond to natural disasters and other emergencies.
